Bethlehem boasts museums and historical sites commemorating the Moravian culture that formed the bedrock of the city in the 1700s. The Historic Bethlehem Visitor Center offers information and shops on the local sites and history of the city. Visitors can get to the Heritage Trail from the center and visit Monocacy Valley, pass through Broad Street Bridge and view original Victorian houses. Some historical sites include Old Chapel, Central Moravian Church and the city's oldest building, Gemeinhaus.
